Well, the fact is, I didn't think of maintaining a DocBook documentation 
and generating the plain-text version from *that*.

(scratching my head)

Anyways, the problem is solved. Except if Packages.txt has been changed 
externally since the switch to DocBook :)

As suggested elsewhere, it'd be a good idea to remove Packages.txt and 
commit the new docs somewhere, e.g. in pkgsrc/docs/. Or perhaps a 
pkgtools/pkgsrc-docs package would do?

Don't be sorry. I still prefer ReST over DocBook for various reasons; 
but what's important is that the work is done, and well done ;)

It's a real pleasure to browse through the docs with mozilla^W your browser!

BTW, one short question; what tool do you use to edit your DocBook sources ?

(and don't tell me it's vi)

Cheers,
